Welcome Aboard!!

Hello!! I'm so excited you've decided to stay updated with me on this journey! For those of you who would like a quick glimpse of the journey I'm talking about, here you go:

Last year, God laid on my heart the idea of "surrendering" my plans for the future, and by giving up my plans, I realized His plan for me after High School. He was calling me to spend a year in Africa working with children there. He has opened so many doors for me; one of which was finding an organization called Empower a Child that works in both Uganda and Kenya, Africa. So, this next year after high school, I'll be going to Uganda, Africa to follow God's calling for me. However, I also want you to know that He didn't call me there because of me. I'm not especially gifted or "the right person for the job", but He called me so that His glory will shine through. So, that's my real mission: to follow God for His glory.

How can you get involved? If you'd like to support me or know more, check out my website http://www.surrenderuganda.com/. You can also get ahold of me by emailing me at emily.c.holliday@gmail.com. I'd love to answer any questions you have or hear what you have to say. My prayer is that God would give you an open heart and ears for His calling for you to surrender as well. I pray that you would have a heart like David: chasing after God and willing to follow Him.

God Bless!!
